stole the ee lx for president obama of course there's no way president obama could have one the way he did without stealing it, of course that's true. so nearly half of the republicans say a.c.o.r.n. is behind it. but there's a slight problem with this theory. a.c.o.r.n. disbanded over two years ago. the organization doesn't exist. it's gone. done. doors shut. a little embarrassing, isn't it? but this is the classic republicanç boogieman theory. they want the president to look bad so they make things up, like when they thought president obama and eric holder were out to take your guns away. like when they said the only way the unemployment numbers could be going down was if the obama administration cooked the books.

and i'm not talking about liberal obama supporters. just about the inconsistencieses that romney was talking about. his claiming he would never consider tax cuts for the upper brackets. things like this that i think people are going to smack him for his lack of consistency and everybody's going to be talking about, you know, where did this romney come from p abo. and it has to make his base a little nervous, although i'm sure he did it with a wink wink. at this point he's done so much to assure them that he's on their team including picking paul ryan that i'm not sure they're that concerned about help anymore. but if obama is smart, he'll take this smack up side the head to get fired up again and go out there and start reminding people, which he should have done last night, about kind of what romney's been campaigning on for the previous 18 months. >> let's take what michelle just said, david. ryan. he's got to face joe biden next week. with all of the things that the new minted mitt romney said last night, joe biden who is a very feis

president obama issues a stern warning to republicans. do your jobs for the good of the american people. just moments ago, he held a press conference and said lawmakers can stop tax hikes on lower and middle class americans. >> i just spoke to speaker boehner and i also met with senator reed. in the next few days, i've asked leaders of congress to work towards a package that prevents a tax hike on middle class americans, protects unemployment insurance for 2 million americans and lays the ground work for further work on both growth and deficit reduction. that's an achievable goal. that can get done in ten days. once this legislation is agreed to, i expect democrats and republicans to get back to washington and have it pass both chambers. and i will immediately sign that legislation into law before january 1st of next year. it's that simple. >> it's that simple. he urged congress to think of the american people this holiday season. >> i hope it gives everybody some perspective. everybody can cool off. everybody can drink some eggnog, have

and people blame obama for that. i think this election is looking like it's going to be a clear divide about what the role of government is as far as in the banking industry and in people's lives for that matter. when you bring in the health care reform argument. and obama's argument is government is there to make sure we have a fair playing field. and romney's is we take the referees off and let everybody scramble for the ball. also, by the way, some people are hobbled and can't even get on the field. he's not interested in fairness. >> now, bob, you're one of the best strategists in the country. let's go to the politics of this. the government has to deal with the government problems. but in politics we are in a very troubling economic time. how do we run against him given this economy politically? what is the political strategy that you see? >> i think the obama people are doing a very good job here. and i don't have much patience for some of the bullfight critics in the democratic party who are sort of complainin

and now he's accusing president obama of not telling the truth? as bill clinton said last week, it takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did. joining me now is melissa harris-perry, host of the melissa harris-perry show here on msnbc and e.j. dionne, an msnbc contributor. thank you both for being on the show tonight. >> good to be with you. >> melissa, hasn't romney's fact-free campaign. >> certainly there's two pieces of it. one is sort of just the inability of having a governing mind set that says when there is a world crisis you pause first. you engage in finding out what the facts even are. you remember that as reagan said, the politics only go to the water's edge and then once we get to the edge of our country, we are all americans. so that's part of it. but the other part of it has been within the domestic politics of the campaign, the willingness of both the romney and ryan candidacies to simply distort their own records of something that is inaccurate and isn't true and consistently to distort president obama's record. >> now
